G5  C5
"Why, why so quiet
Bb5      F5              G5                  C5  Bb5  F5
 oh my mysterious country singer," she asked
G5    C5
my life it's a riot
Bb5            F5            G5                  C5  Bb5  F5
 I am climbing barricades in empty streets at night

(Intro)

when I'm down fighting shadows
twenty-five postcards in a box in my room
telephone conversations
gas slowly leaking out of a heart shaped balloon

G5
it's a dangerous game
F5                             G5
that I'm not sure if I could keep playing for long
G5
it's a dangerous game,
F5                         G5

C5                 Bb5          G5
I have no cards to play and that's why
C5                 Bb5
I've got nothing to say tonight
